Chapter 282: Handle It Yourself

"Slander?" Ning Ruoxue smiled slightly and said, "Whether it is slander or not, you know in your heart. Article 270 of the law stipulates that personnel of an enterprise or unit who take advantage of their positions to illegally misappropriate the property of their unit may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years; if the amount is huge, they may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years."

"A few of you, take a look. You can see for yourselves how many years you want to go in for; the sentencing standards are all in there," Ning Ruoxue said with a smile.

"I'm sorry, President Chen. I was blinded by greed. I'll return it; I'll spit out everything I've eaten," one executive finally broke down.

"What you swallowed belonged to the previous boss; it has nothing to do with me. But since I have taken over the company, this kind of situation will definitely not be allowed in the future. If you give me a hard time, I have no choice but to take up the challenge," Chen Yu said indifferently.

"Furthermore, everyone here who is truly close to Wang Zhong can also be considered an accomplice. It's fine to resign, but how many benefits you have taken in the past is all on record. If Wang Zhong is sentenced, you won't be able to stay out of it either," Ning Ruoxue smiled. "Everyone, do you really want to resign?"

"I still have work to do, I'm leaving first."

"Right, the company will be better after President Chen takes office. I'm not resigning."

The room suddenly became chaotic. These people turned pale, fearing they would be implicated, and fled the conference room as if escaping.

Wang Zhong's face turned pale. He said with a trembling voice, "President Chen, I'm sorry, this is all a misunderstanding."

"A misunderstanding?" Chen Yu glanced at him and said, "I don't think this is a misunderstanding. Wang Zhong, are you going to resign yourself, or should I kick you out?"

"I'll resign, I'll resign myself. I only ask President Chen to show mercy and let me go. I will be grateful to President Chen for the rest of my life." Wang Zhong lowered his posture significantly.

"Take your subordinates and get out of here," Chen Yu waved his hand.

"Yes, yes, thank you, President Chen. We're leaving, we're leaving right now," Wang Zhong bowed his head and apologized repeatedly.

Wang Zhong took his few confidants, finished the resignation procedures, and slunk away.

"President Wang, are we just going to let it go like this?" the manager said sinisterly. "I can't swallow this insult."

"Let it go? How could I possibly let it go? Heh, I control plenty of the company's resources. I'll take you few, and we'll set up our own shop immediately," Wang Zhong sneered.

"That's good, we'll all follow President Wang." The few people nodded incessantly.

"President Wang, we only reached this point because of you. You must not abandon us."

"What are you saying? How could President Wang be that kind of person?"

"Don't worry, when I make a comeback, I won't treat you few poorly. It was also my carelessness. This kid bought Chaoxing Group at a premium, and I just took him for a fool with too much money. I didn't expect his methods to be so tough," Wang Zhong gritted his teeth.

"Who is Wang Zhong?" Suddenly, a police car stopped at the company entrance, and several police officers got out.

"I am. What's the matter, officer?" Wang Zhong was slightly stunned.

"Chaoxing Group reported that you used your position to amass wealth, causing immeasurable losses to the company. This involves commercial crime. You need to come with us to investigate clearly."

"How is that possible? Officers, you've made a mistake, you must have made a mistake," Wang Zhong roared in panic. "How could I possibly do such a thing? You must have gotten it wrong."

"Whether it's wrong or not, you need to come back with us to find out. Take him away."

Click! A pair of handcuffs locked onto Wang Zhong. The officer turned and said, "You few should also come back to assist with the investigation."

"Chen Yu, you broke your word, you villain!" Wang Zhong screamed. He knew that since the police had come to arrest him, it was certainly not as simple as an investigation; the police had likely already obtained evidence and opened a case directly.

However, no matter how he shouted, it was useless. The group of people who had been following him and shouting slogans just a moment ago had all been taken in, which was quite ironic.

Chaoxing Group Headquarters.

"President Chen, almost all of the company's high-level executives have left, and most of these executives held important departments. Now we must fill these vacancies," Lin Yunzhu had already organized a file and was reporting.

"I know people at a headhunting firm. I can hire a batch of people at high salaries immediately, but even if these people are talented in this area, we will need some time to integrate," Ning Ruoxue said with a frown.

"No need to find a headhunting firm, promote directly from the lower levels of the company," Chen Yu decided decisively. "Issue a notice: all teachers or leadership levels in the ten kindergartens, as well as primary schools, middle schools, and high schools under Chaoxing Group, who have worked for more than five years, are eligible to participate in the competition for executive positions."

"Will that work?" Ning Ruoxue was startled. "Isn't that a bit risky?"

"President Chen makes sense. If these people have worked at Chaoxing for five years, they understand the company's systems and drawbacks very well and can integrate quickly. This way, we can fill the vacancies quickly, and we can also motivate the current employees by telling them that through hard work, they can enter the upper management directly," Lin Yunzhu's eyes lit up.

"Exactly, that was my consideration," Chen Yu said.

"This is also the best method at the moment," Ning Ruoxue nodded. "Chen Yu, Chaoxing Group focuses on education, which is different from other companies."

"Whether it's education or the safety of children, you must be careful. If you're not careful, you'll be standing on the tip of the storm."

"I know," Chen Yu nodded and smiled. "Leave the legal matters to you. Besides that, there is security. I have already asked Datian to expand the security company. The school security guards will be replaced soon to ensure the safety of these people."

"That's good," Ning Ruoxue nodded. "Leave the legal and public relations to me. You can rest assured about that."

It was already noon when he left Chaoxing Group. Chen Yu suddenly received a call from Ye Qian: "Brother-in-law, my sister feels a bit uncomfortable in her stomach. I told her to go to the hospital, but she won't go."

"I'll be back right away, don't worry." Chen Yu was shocked. Ye Xinyu was now in the most critical few months of late pregnancy; he really couldn't be careless at all. He hurriedly took a car and rushed home.

"Xinyu, relax. The late stage of pregnancy is just like this. Come, this is the chicken soup Mom made for you, drink it quickly." In the living room, Wang Xueqin set down a bowl of chicken soup.

"Mom, please put the chicken soup down first. I don't have an appetite right now." Ye Xinyu stroked her chest, her brows tightly locked, and her expression was somewhat uncomfortable.

She was now seven months pregnant and had many physical discomforts, so she had temporarily put aside her work at the company.

"Just drink a few sips and you'll be fine. This is morning sickness, drink a few sips to settle it." Wang Xueqin picked up the bowl of soup, a trace of imperceptible coldness flashing in her eyes.
